🔊STED HELLVIS
(wAliens/Project Mayhem/Welsh Connektion)
Sted Hellvis - cut his teeth playing old school hip hop when it was still new school; the rave scene soon swallowed him up and spat him out in the world of dirty underground techno. Throw in a dose of 303 and he's stomped and spun in warehouses, forests, squats, free parties and clubs across the U.K. and Europe, including appearances at Acid Splash: Switzerland, Acid Party: Poland, in Ireland with Lord Backlash/Annaghtek, and at the Acid Punk Royale parties in Sardinia.
With countless radio appearances on the mighty Hard Force United and FNOOB techno radio resident there’s never a quiet moment!
Based in the Midlands in the 90’s (part of Momentum & Project Zero playing hard techno/acid), he finally found his way to his spiritual home in North Wales; a founding member of the Welsh Connektion crew and a part of the wAliens free party crew.
2018 saw him launch Project Mayhem with Al Mac.
Heavily influenced by classic labels Cluster, Getafix, Routemaster & Squat records and more recent labels Stereo Chaos & Skuxx.
Sted Hellvis has been at the forefront of championing the dirty warehouse/squat techno sound his sets range from pounding London techno to tough European techno…with the focus being hard and dirty!!
Watch out for his alter ego ‘SH13’ if you’re into dark/industrial techno sounds!
